Amazing... simply amazing. I've been saying for decades to my family and everyone else how TV ruined the office of the president. When it was print and even radio where everyone heard the opinions of the candidates, then real men with real ideas ran.
But now you have to have a slick smile, a ten thousand dollar suit and a stupid slogan... and the studio can do the rest with heart-string tugging music, slow-mo touched up civic scenes, 'mingling with the common people' shots with just the right color shading and some trained voice actor listing off all of your bullshit ideals.
It's all presentation and no substance these days.
